give one reason how increasing dependence on nuclear power generation is a threat for future generation

We should not build more nuclear power plants because of the dangers associated with them.  

Nuclear power plants are very dangerous in that they can decimate entire societies and, if ignored, maybe even cause an increase in death toll. An example of this was the power plant meltdown in Chernobyl, Russia. The power plant released radioactive material everywhere around it for about a mile radius, killing everything in sight. In addition to this hazard, nuclear power plants also pollute the atmosphere, which can lead to the problem of global warming by decreasing the ozone layer. Research shows that the result of newer extreme heat waves are a direct result of pollution.

Better alternatives are around  

Too many developed countries now depend too much on electricity. By reducing the amount of dependency on electricity, we can just rely on clean renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, solar power, and wind power. Indeed nuclear power produces a tremendous amount of electricity, disasters do happen. If a nuclear power plant goes bad, the nuclear waste will be around the area and cause serious health issues. What happens if a solar panel goes bad? Not much but some replacement parts. A windmill? same thing. What about a dam? Well yes, thousands of people can potentially die, but there can be preventative measures like diverting the water to emergency canals so the damage is minimal. The cons for these alternatives to nuclear power are MUCH SAFER.
